- now that is one bloody big Spider. Rather Lovecraftian in form which gives it an extra shot of horror at the moment of reveal, and this dude definitely looks like Potter. The human with the scar I mean. Not the spider, he's even more spidery than Atlach-Nacha.

- now THIS is what comics can do, that books and film cannot. MAGIC. Real magic, tangible mysterious and occult magicks that are beyond the ken of mere muggles, and dark magic here that is beyond the dreams of most wizarding students. Voldemort steals the show here, his robes whipping out like he's a footloose Darth Maul acolyte as he sneers through his reptilian mouth.

- oh god he really does have his mothers eyes and he looks so much like his dad, and OH THE FEELS...

A lot could and would probably change were this to ever become a real comic book series but I love the little differences from the film - and think of what a comic could include that the films skipped over! - and the style looks like it could have stepped off the cover of a Harry Potter book but with some extra magical tweaks. And it's such a tease. I want to know what Neville looks like! What the twins look like! Luna and Peeves and Fang and The Burrow... WANT.

We all know where the Harry Potter story goes and how it ends, but it somehow never loses its appeal. We want more books, more re-reads, more films, more magical universe to explore. And maybe, more of this comic.
